Road Trip Part I: 17 hours: 20 minutes: 1045 miles

Road trip to Ohio and back to Asheville in one day. The drive up north was fine. The return trip was an hour longer than expected. The interstate became a parking lot in Cincinnati. I get to do this again on Sunday....when most people will be returning home after their Thanksgiving holiday.

An early morning departure on I-40 west from the mountains of Western North Carolina. The color of the leaves have about disappeared. Here we are just on the eastern boundary of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

The Cincinnati, Ohio skyline is actually pretty cool. But, the traffic can really suck! This is about the only place on this trip where I get caught up in bumper to bumper traffic.

Northwestern Ohio. Flat. Cornfields. Overcast.

Squiggly lights from traffic on the return at night on I-40. Man.....this trip was getting very long at this point. Tired eyes. We got home around midnight. We were so tired we couldn't fall asleep.....finally fell asleep around 2 AM.

He we are, Dad and Daughter, going to dinner the day after the road trip. We took care of some shopping and just hung out together. It was a great first day. Here comes the turkey!
